I’m on the pavement, thinkin’ about the New York Times

As we approach the July 4th holiday, Ann Coulter asks: what happened to treason? She asks the right question, but doesn’t provide the answer. The answer is modern liberalism, which says that our society’s highest value is the rights of the individual, which means that our society, which secures those rights, has no rights of its own. Under modern liberalism, we have infinite claims on society; society has no claim on us.
